You peek between the curtains at the revivalThe MC primes the crowd for your arrivalYou long for the days when a day’s work meant survivalThen you fist pump your way into the center ringCause you had to go and chase the shiny thingCause you had to go and chase the shiny thing

You always put the knee-bone to the thigh-boneAlways had your nose against the grindstoneSuperficiality was banned to your no-fly zoneWhen everyone around you was grabbing for the stringBut you had to go and chase the shiny thingBut you had to go and chase the shiny thing

Revolution, evolution, Wind up on a shelf Strike gold, cut free, sounds good but the Beast won’t feed itself

It’s been a year you’ve been the next sensationBeen a year since your last new creationBeen a year since you’ve had an interesting conversationOr thought about the cool things a new day bringsBut you had to go and chase the shiny thingBut you had to go and chase the shiny thingBut you had to go and chase the shiny thingBut you had to go and chase the shiny thing

I agree with Calvin and Travis. Remembering words of songs... reminds me why I'm not a performer... among other things. You certainly made it look like you were enjoying yourself even if it begins to be a ton of work... arranging the gear, adjusting things... and playing different tracks. Enjoyed. ----Dave

Like the pop psychedelic vibe you have going here. Miss those organ sounds from yesteryear--maybe you can bring them back! I'm not really sure what you're saying, but was entertained as always with your music.

Enjoyed the listen,video and sober shirts. As Calvin commented well out together.A good song,I admire anyone who can remember the words of their own songs!Travis

Lol - I come up with the lyrics over a period of several days on the drive to and from work. So I probably sing them 50 times before recording them. Which means I can probably remember them for a week afterwards.

The shirts have some utility. When I look at the thumbnails of the video tracks, I can tell which part they are by the shirt.

Yes, Dave. Doing these as videos with multiple tracks showing is moving me further down the path to jack of all trades and master of none.

Lol - that keyboard sound is actually called "60s organ".

Most of my songs are specific stories from which I hope people can generalize. This one was written more generally - to it's detriment I think. Basically about a creative type who becomes trapped by success into doing things that aren't creative.
